About the piece
Painted in 1901 by Paul Saïn, this portrait depicts the French novelist Félicien Champsaur. The work showcases masterful painterly technique, particularly in the dappled olive-green background and the textured rendering of the sitter's features, accented by a single white daisy on his lapel.
